Intel on Monday released technical details about its upcoming line of microprocessors, codenamed “Larrabee” in advance of the company’s presentation at the SIGGRAPH conference, to be held in Los Angeles next week. The family of chips will be the springboard for a many-core — as few as eight and up to 48 initially — x86 chip architecture. Intel expects the processors to hit the market in 2009 or 2010. Larrabee will launch an industry-wide effort to design and optimize software for future computers, according to the chipmaker.
